Maggie Lee
Born in 1987 in États Unis
The prolific artist Maggie Lee’s aesthetic is characterized by its fluidity—a low-tech, experimental collage in which she uses her life as artistic material. By exploring artefacts of memory and everyday archives, she studies universal affects by collecting clues which she distills in a restrained, dreamlike manner, thereby creating a strange sensation of simultaneous remembering and forgetting. However, Maggie Lee does not give in to nostalgia. While her installations display a rare sincerity, they reactivate synesthetic sensations in the present: sounds, smells, lights, touch, colours, and glitter help celebrate that which is no longer.
Born in 1987 in the United States, Maggie Lee is a graduate of the Pratt Institute in New York. Her first documentary film, Mommy (2015), was critically acclaimed for its tactility and evocative power. She lives and works in Brooklyn.
